Sleeved on Monday :)



Recommended Posts

Woohoo! Got sleeved on Monday, feeling pretty good today. Monday I was pretty much out of it the rest of the day. Every day since has gotten better. I came home yesterday (with a stupid JP drain - I hate it). I am on full liquids now. So far, everything is great. I am expecting some not so great days, but right now, I havent had any yet. YAY!!!!!

So glad to hear you are home and fairing pretty well!

I asked my doctor for no drain tube because I am allergic to latex and he agreed -No Tube for me! I was so glad not to have to deal with that thing. Most people have similar experiences as you are having.

Concentrate on getting fluids in, walking, and resting!

Hugs

Congratulations! It will only get easier as long as you follow your doctors recommendations and not try to push your self into solids too quickly. Full liquids was easy for me, once I went into solids it took some adjustment to figure out my limits. My tip is to always use small food containers (4oz or 6 oz) so you do not over eat.... You will love the results! :D

Congrats Katmagmom and Samantha. Welcome to the losers bench. Yes, every day should be a little better. Until you are so freaking great you just don't know what to do with yourself.

I also was sleeved monday. Having a little more pain then I would like but hanging in there. I tried my Protein Shake today and that did not go well I think I found what the term sliming is an that,was only about 2oz so I am not getting much Protein in at all an just getting in tiny sips.

I too had my sleeve monday, and now 4 days out I am having so much trouble getting all my fluids in but its getting easier. Never thought I would be happy about being welcomed to a losers bench, LOL. Just found this site tonight but so far its been very helpful to see I am not alone in some of my struggles.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
